My daughter lost her valiant fight with C. At home, on Hospice, she breathed her last Sunday night. She was 55 years old, and our first. I called her 'Little Ed' because she was so much like me, and I called her 'Blondie', even though her hair now was brunette, because all 3 of my kids were palominos when young, as was I. She didn't get the chance for her hair to lighten up again, as mine has. The heavy grieving has taken place, but the light grieving will continue...

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)

I attended the funeral this week of a "young" 53 year old wife and mother, who after a long battle with ALS went to be with her Savior.

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
Thoughts and prayers headed your way. That's not something any parent should have to go through.
Echo,
I write this with a tear rolling down my cheek - literally. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Echo, my prayers are with you. I lost my best friend to cancer two years ago, he was 59 years old. He spent his last year fighting cancer at my house with my wife and I. Over the past 20 years I have lost far too many friends and family members to cancer, so I know how much wind it takes out of one's sails. Keep you love and faith, and it will carry you through the hardest of times. God Bless.
